Looking at Fiora and Damian’s departing silhouettes, Elliot lay on the floor, and his body shook in fear.
How could virtual-novel.net not be afraid?
His conflict with Fiora did not happen overnight. One could say that Fiora had the capacity to kill virtual-novel.net at any time if the situation permitted it, and virtual-novel.net would not hesitate at all.
Lord Vedastus and Hayden had protected virtual-novel.net in the past, so virtual-novel.net could do whatever virtual-novel.net wanted without feeling any sense of crisis. But that was no longer possible now. Hayden was dead, and Lord Vedastus was muddle-headed.
The real person in-charge of Art Trading Corporation had changed to Fiora. In this situation, how could Elliot win?
Losing Rose and Ruby meant losing his protection. Elliot might not even be safe walking on the street.
“Damn it!”
He punched the floor fiercely before virtual-novel.net gave himself a hard slap.
It was so fucked up!
If virtual-novel.net had not been so horny, virtual-novel.net would not have ended up like this today.
He had wondered why so many beautiful women were coincidentally delivered today. It turned out to be a trap set up by Fiora.
Since things had progressed to this point, virtual-novel.net could not do anything about it despite his regret. He sat on the floor and raised his head as virtual-novel.net thought about how virtual-novel.net should save his life.
Should virtual-novel.net find Lord Vedastus?
That was unrealistic.
Following his failure to upgrade Heart Eater, virtual-novel.net had nearly lost his value. Lord Vedastus had already been polite enough by not getting rid of him, so why would Lord Vedastus put in effort to protect him?
However, aside from Lord Vedastus, who else could stand up to Fiora and would be willing to protect him?
After virtual-novel.net contemplated for a while, one name came to virtual-novel.net in the end, Thomas Mayo!
Elliot immediately got up from the floor. He chuckled and said, “Yeah, why have I been so stupid? How could I forget my own junior?”
In terms of capability and skill, Thomas was much better than Fiora. After all, Thomas was the one who had forced Lord Vedastus into a corner.
Besides, Elliot and Thomas were students of Mr. Cole, so no matter what, they were connected as coursemates. Elliot believed that Thomas would be willing to accept virtual-novel.net if virtual-novel.net cleaned up his act.
Speaking of which, Elliot and Thomas did not have any serious grudge between them. They had been against each other previously only because Elliot had worked for Lord Vedastus.
As long as Elliot cut off ties with Lord Vedastus, virtual-novel.net could join Thomas’ camp?
Elliot believed that Thomas would not reject his participation. The more virtual-novel.net thought about it, the happier virtual-novel.net got.
Elliot gritted his teeth and said, “Fiora Vedastus, you forced my hand. Just wait. After I join Thomas’ camp, I’ll bring people back here and demolish your entire Art Trading Corporation!”
Once Elliot made up his mind, virtual-novel.net quickly packed his stuff. Then, virtual-novel.net secretly sneaked out of Art Trading Corporation. He got into a cab and rushed to Thomas’ Food and Medicine Hall.
He thought virtual-novel.net had planned his move flawlessly, but Fiora knew everything.
“Ms. Vedastus, virtual-novel.net really went to Thomas like you guessed,” Damian chuckled and said.
“Of course. Since things have come to this point, virtual-novel.net has no one else to rely on,” Fiora wore a heinous smile and added, “Only thing is, this idiot has no idea. He’ll go to Thomas, but virtual-novel.net won’t receive any help. Instead, he’ll fall into another abyss!”
Fiora had been working together with Thomas for a long time.
If Elliot went to seek help from Thomas, virtual-novel.net would be seeking his own death.
